I’m Derrick.


Photography has been a passion of mine since I got my first disposable camera on a family road trip when I was 6.

I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Obsessed with capturing emotional and authentic moments.

I am on an endless quest to:

Try to enjoy spicy food

Ignore my caffeine addiction

Explore the globe

Drink Pina Coladas

Genuine & Nostalgic Photography: Capturing My Life


Last year alone, I captured over 200,000 photos.


Mostly from weddings and portraits. But also of travel, sports, performance arts, and of course my pup, every click of the shutter is an effort to preserve life's most meaningful moments.


Here are a whole bunch of my favorite photos from some recent adventures and daily life. Including: New Zealand, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Hungry, and so many more.

“Easily the best decision we made regarding our wedding logistics was working with Derrick as our photographer. So much more than worth it. It was a magical day, and Derrick captured that magic perfectly, at a level I did not think was possible.

Everyone thought they looked SO good in the photos, and sure some of us clean up nice, but I am still amazed. that album is SOLID GOLD.”
